Oatmeal and Frozen Leftovers

For the last couple of nights we've been eating simple, so I haven’t had any new recipes to post. You know…there comes a time when you have to clean out the fridge…rid it of all those leftovers. Well, that’s what we've been doing the last couple of nights. Hopefully tonight will hold a new recipe. :o)

For breakfast this morning I did try a little something new. I used coconut milk to make my oatmeal. Then I topped it off with almond butter and maple syrup. I wasn’t too sure if the coconut milk would change the taste much or not. It had a slightly different taste, but was still good. The funny part about my breakfast was, after I took a picture of it with my phone, I took my plastic spoon out of the oatmeal and it had curled up from the oatmeal being so hot. I should have taken a picture of the spoon…it was pretty funny.

For lunch today I had some onion rings and leftover frozen Enchilada Casserole that I had fixed a couple of weeks ago. I tell ya, I was not too crazy about the Enchilada Casserole. I was NOT "diggin" it being frozen. I don’t think I’ll be doing that again. I’m not a big fan of freezing foods after they have been cooked. They never seem to taste as good, or good at all, for that matter.I made up some black bean burgers awhile back and froze some of them to make for an easy lunch. I wasn’t crazy about those either. Freezing the burgers seemed to leave them soggy, and just not very tasty. Maybe I’m not freezing them correctly….I don’t know, but I think the only thing that I can tolerate after it has been frozen is soup. How about you? Do you like frozen leftovers?
